Union bosses work the same mindset of bureaucrats; both enjoy flexing their muscles at our expense. Both union bosses and bureaucrats exist because they have usurped power and authority from the "little people" as they call us. They thrive on the backs of working people and have never been able to keep their hands out of our pockets. Sorry to say stories like the one told in Alaska Exposed is a norm, not the exception. I cannot begin to tell you how many of similar stories I have heard. Stories of outright abuse of power run rampant. If anything, this story has been toned down from the norm. Those of us who wish to make Alaska a better place to live will have to raise hell to get the unions, bureaucrats, and politicos under our control where they belong.
